Classé SSP-800 preamplifier

Categories: Audio
   

    The surround sound processor is the core of a high-end home theatre system.
    It directly connects to almost every other component in the system and can either limit or reveal their true potential. Starting over two years ago, the Classé Design Team began an extensive evaluation of the new breed of high definition audio and video technologies. Their research served as the inspiration for a new challenge:
    The creation of the definitive SSP—a surround sound processor to set the standard as the high definition era dawns. The result is the SSP-800, Classé’s statement preamp/processor.
    The SSP-800 was conceived with pure performance as its raison d’être. It can seamlessly weave audio and video into a faithful reproduction of the original master, reproducing music and movies exactly as the artists imagined. It was created by people who are uniquely qualified, having both the technical skill and aesthetic judgment to bring performances to life.
